Residential blocks have been approved and announced

Potomac, MD, December 19, 2022 – Landmark Land Holdings, LLC—a joint venture that includes Foulger-Pratt, The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) and Seritage Growth Properties (NYSE: SRG)—announced today it has received entitlement approval for the first four buildings to be constructed at the reenvisioned WestEnd Alexandria, the site formerly known as Landmark Mall. Alexandria City Council voted in favor of the Development Special Use Permits and construction is anticipated to begin in early 2024.

“This is a major milestone in the development of WestEnd Alexandria,” remarked James Kelly, Vice President, Development at Foulger-Pratt. “We are grateful to be advancing this remarkable vision. Our close partnership with the Alexandria City Staff as well as strong support from the City Council and Planning Commission has been instrumental in advancing the project to its next phase. This project will be a catalyst for redevelopment throughout the West End of Alexandria.”

The approvals include three residential buildings totaling 1,117 new residential units, 45 of which are designated affordable housing, a new office tower that will offer approximately 120,000 square feet of office space, and more than 215,000 square feet of amenity rich retail.

The Brightly, seated on Block I, features a modern, luxurious design unique for the market. It boasts 390 units and over 15,000 square feet of amenities, highlighted by an infinity edge pool, outdoor lounge and a double-height gym. The Brightly will be anchored by 150,000 square feet of retail.

Aspect, the residential building spanning Blocks E and G, will be connected via an iconic sky bridge, home to the fitness center. Aspect will also be home to another 390 units which will offer views of the 2+ acre Central Park. Aspect will deliver an additional 70,000 square feet of retail. Block E will also include a 120,000 square feet start-of-the-art medical office building with ground floor retail. Thrive, situated on Block K, will include 337 high-end units with private parking and luxury amenities including a spa, pool, and fitness center. Thrive will offer 30,000 square feet retail space on the ground level.

“We are thrilled to take this next step at WestEnd Alexandria as the development process continues to take shape,” remarked Kelly. “WestEnd Alexandria is poised to become the next transformational community hub offering Northern Virginia a variety of quality housing offerings, abundance of shopping and dining options and medical services. We are full steam ahead on the next phase.”

The three joint-venture partners first announced their vision for WestEnd Alexandria in December 2020, including plans for Inova’s new hospital campus. Inova Health System, the leading nonprofit health care provider in Northern Virginia, will invest $1 billion to create a new medical campus, anchored by the relocation and expansion of its Alexandria hospital. Inova expects its new campus to employ more than 2,000 health care workers.

In June 2022, the Planning Commission approved the overall site infrastructure plans and construction work has already begun. In addition to the residential buildings, additional development plans in the remaining portions of the site including a mix of housing (affordable, senior and for sale), retail and commercial, integrated into a cohesive neighborhood network of parks and public spaces, and a transit hub serving bus rapid transit (BRT), DASH, and Metrobus as well as community facilities such as a new Alexandria Fire-EMS station. The first buildings are slated to deliver in late 2025.
